    I had a horse on springs when I was a kid and loved it... Even bought my son one for Christmas last year. I can only imagine how awesome that was.

    Yes I also opened that, but I never put any stock in what people ask for something, only what I see them sell for.

    I was surprised by the lack of results the google search got me. That has to be pretty rare.

    One of the things we kids used to fight over was the Oleo margaram. The stuff that came in a bag with a one inch red dot in the middle. You had to message the bag and break the dot up and work it out into the butter before using.

    Any of you guys collect baseball/football/basketball/nascar cards? I did and still have them somewhere. Wonder what the market is like for them now?

    You said nascar cards.... Lol. How did one acquire these cards? Did they come with a pack of white wife beaters or with 6 packs of High Life?

    We had a tv with built-in Pong. It was the height of electronic home games back in the day.

    Jarts (the good steel tipped ones)

    Frisbee at night by strobe light. (strobe lights were cool!)

    Yes, there was a point in my life that I actually enjoyed Nascar and everything about it. Can't stand it now. AND don't be talking smack about the "Champagne of Beers!"
